We are in a full-blown testing mode in the office. Our new website will be here very, very soon. While waiting, take a look at the three videos that will be part of the new SiteGround home page. They will explain a lot about SiteGround approach to web hosting<\/a> and how we make your website safer, faster and better supported. But what is even more important, they will make you feel the real magic of our handmade philosophy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The making of\u2026<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Our main challenge with the new website was to tell some highly technological stories in an understandable and human way. Using videos seemed a logical choice, as it would allow us to add action and emotion and thus make the visitors\u2019 perception easier. The temptation to go for an easy and fast computer-generated animation was huge. But when the advertising agency offered to make a series of stop-motion movies instead, with all characters made of paper, I just felt the click. It was such a great match with the handmade philosophy that inspired the whole site re-design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At that point I didn\u2019t know that filming each of the three 1-minute long movies will take from 12 to 16 hours non-stop shootage, neither that I will have to craft some of the characters from postit notes on the spot, nor that the whole thing will be so much fun! Now that the SiteGround stop-motion movie-making adventure is over it is time to reveal the end-result to the world. Hope you like them as much as we do!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
